When you hold resentment toward another, you are bound to that person or condition by an emotional link that is stronger than steel. Forgiveness is the only way to dissolve that link and get free.

Andy entered her and Sam's suite. It had been a long day. She had never shopped that much before. She was pretty sure Zoe had bought everything in Vancouver.

"Sam?" She questioned as she entered the suite.

"In here." Sam yelled from the bathroom.

She walked into the bathroom. From the sight she could tell Sam had just taken his shower. No shirt. Towel wrapped around his waist.

Andy looked away quickly to inspect herself in the mirror, "Ugh."

"What's wrong?" Sam questioned as he washed his hands.

She sighed, "Nothing."

His forehead wrinkled, "You look tired. Did you sleep any last night?"

She looked over and noticed he had concern in his face. "Yea, just a lot on my mind."

"Well, if you need to talk," he shrugged his shoulders, "We share the same room, so-"

He didn't know why he was offering his ears to listen to her. He needed to get out of this environment. It was becoming too much.

"Thanks, Sam."

Before leaving to go to the other room, he responded a simple, "Yep."

She looked at his backside, while he walked away. She bit her lip. Why was she stuck in a room with him? Alone.

"What time are you leaving?" She asked him as she came to lean on the doorframe.

He looked up from rummaging through his suitcase, "In about ten minutes."

She smiled, "And where will you be tonight?"

He stood up, "What is this? Twenty questions?"

She knew he was kidding by his dimples that now showed. "Well, if you get too drunk and can't make it back-"

"Don't worry, McNally. You're still on my speed dial."

He smiled, while she stared dumbfounded.

~0~0~0~

"Where is this place?" Traci asked Andy as they made their way out of the hotel.

Andy looked down at her map, "Uhh, I think that way." She pointed to the right.

Andy had planned a nice dinner for Zoe's bachelorette party. She had no idea what Sam and Jerry had planned for Oliver, but she knew it probably wasn't anything good. Zoe had told her, a long time ago, what she had wanted to do. So, Andy respected her wishes.

"So?"

Andy looked to Traci, "What?"

Traci rolled her eyes, "Spill."

Andy was confused, "Spill what?"

"Really, McNally?" Traci questioned, "Tell me about you and Swarek."

Andy bit her lip, "Things are fine."

"That was vague."

"We talked." Andy said triumphantly.

Traci smiled, "And-"

"And nothing" Andy said defeated.

Traci was baffled, "You're telling me, you date the guy for almost five years and nothing."

Andy nodded, "Trace, you know it's complicated."

"I don't know," Traci started, "You guys are in the same hotel room, something could happen."

Andy shrugged, "I think it just needs some more time."

"He'll come around."

"I hope your right."

Traci smiled, "It's not like it wasn't him either. You've got to remember that."

"But, I left." Andy muttered.

Traci shrugged, not wanting to further the situation, she added, "But he left first."

It was the truth and Andy knew that. They were both at fault, but no one was going to surrender.

Lost in her thoughts, Andy almost missed the restaurant they were looking for. "Oh, there it is."

As they entered a very attractive man welcomed Traci and Andy.

He kept his eyes on Andy, "Are you Andy McNally?"

Traci looked between the two and could tell the man already had it bad for her best friend.

"Yes." Andy responded.

"I'm Eli, I'll be your server for the evening."

It was going to be a long night.

~0~0~0~

"Let's Rock N' Roll."

Sam and Oliver looked over at Dov. Sam was pretty sure Dov was more excited than an eight year old on their birthday.

"Calm down, Epstein." Sam told him as they all walked down the hall.

"This is going to be awesome," Dov told both of his superior officers, "Thank you so much again for inviting me."

Oliver patted Dov on the back, "Welcome to the dark side."

Dov smiled with glee, "Better watch yourself tonight Oliver."

"Unlike you," Oliver told Dov harshly, "I have control over my pants."

Sam smirked, "Make sure not to pull a 'Shaw' on anyone tonight."

Dov looked between the two, "And a 'Shaw' is?"

Oliver narrowed his eyes, "This conversation stops now."

Sam looked to Dov, who now understood, or so he hoped. Dov gave him a significant looked that meant he did. Sam smirked.

"Oh, Ollie, quite the character back in the day." Sam told him as they entered The Lounge.

The Lounge, from what Sam knew, was one of the best bars in Vancouver. Since, it was also in their hotel, it was perfect for the bachelor party. Jerry had rented a VIP section strictly for the party. Oliver was in for a wild night.

"And how was Swarek back in the day?" Dov asked good-naturedly.

Oliver smiled at that comment, "Hanging with McNally."

Sam swallowed hard. Oliver had gotten him on that.

Playing along, Dov threw in his two cents, "Yea, how is that by the way? Aren't you guys in the same room?"

Oliver almost choked on his own spit. He gave Dov a glare.

The almost choking on Oliver's part did not go unnoticed by Sam. "Yea, you wouldn't have anything to do with that, now would you Oliver?"

Oliver shook his head, "Nope."

Sam was going to press the subject, but Jerry quickly greeted them.

Jerry smiled at the three. "Leslie's here."

Oliver's eyes widen as he saw Leslie.

~0~0~0~

"Thank you so much for dinner Andy. It was great."

Andy gave Zoe a hug, "No problem. It was fun."

Zoe smiled at her, "Are you sure you got everything?"

Andy nodded, "Yea, I just need to clean up a bit and then I'm going to head back."

"Okay. Remember the rehearsal is at five tomorrow." Zoe told Andy before leaving.

Andy gave her a small smile, "Got it. Now go get some rest. You have two big days ahead of you."

Zoe quickly agreed before leaving with the rest of the bacherlorette party.

Andy sighed. She looked at the table. There were too many gifts to count. She was trying to decide what to do with all of them, before someone interrupted her thought process.

"Need some help?"

It was Eli, the waiter.

There was no denying he was cute, but something about him didn't click for her.

Traci had kept telling her during dinner how Eli had kept staring at her. She hadn't even noticed. Her dating radar was completely off. It also didn't help that she hadn't dated anyone since Sam. She was off her game and in the back of her mind; she knew she wanted to stay that way.

"Sure." She didn't know why she just said that.

He smiled, "So, I'm guessing you're the maid of honor?"

Andy nodded slightly at him, while picking up a few gifts, "Yep. The one and only."

He showed her another smile, no dimples. She was accustomed to dimples.

"Are you single?" He was very forward.

She was. She just had trouble admitting it to people sometimes because her heart was definitely not single. No, it was taken, completely taken.

"Yea."

"How about a drink?"

~0~0~0~

Oliver had left The Lounge, a long time ago.

Sam smiled to himself, as he thought of Oliver in his drunken stupor. He'd gone out single with a bang, or that's how Oliver had put it.

"Sammy, we work well together." Jerry patted Sam on the back.

Sam hadn't had as much as Oliver, seeing as he was keeping an eye on him, but he had taken back a few. Once, Oliver started screaming out Zoe's name, everyone knew it was time to shut down the night. It had been fun, nonetheless.

"That we do." Sam smiled. He was feeling the scotch now.

"I'm going to go. Traci." Jerry slurred.

Sam gave him a nod, "You sure you're okay,"

Jerry gave him an 'okay' with his hand. "Super."

Jerry looked over to the bar and noticed someone in particular, "Sammy." Jerry motioned for him to come close.

Sam came close, "Yea?"

"Leslie, over there," Jerry pointed to behind the bar, "Has been drooling over you all night."

Sam backed away so he didn't have to smell the tequila, "Are you sure you're okay."

Jerry nodded, knowing it was time to go, "I'll see you tomorrow."

Jerry waved to Sam all the way out of The Lounge.

Sam shook his head. He was already getting a headache. The sooner he cleaned up, the faster he could go to his room.

"Need some help?"

He watched at Leslie approached him.

Jerry had hired a stripper. She had entertained Dov the most, which had turned into entertainment for the rest of the guys.

Both Oliver and Jerry had told him about Leslie's wandering eye towards him, he didn't respond, though. She wasn't his type.

"Nope. I think I'm good."

He picked up a beer can and threw it in the black trash bag. She was watching him and he could tell.

"Some party." She said lowly coming even closer.

Sam nodded, while turning to pick up another can, "It was a bachelor party."

She leaned down to pick up a beer can, "So are you still a bachelor?"

He thought about the brunette who was in his suite probably right now and wanted to say no.

"Yep."

She smiled, "How about another drink?"

~0~0~0~

Sam used his key to get into his and Andy's suite.

It had been a long night. Not only, was he now feeling a headache, Leslie had been a real pain in his ass. Sam now remembered why he hadn't dated since Andy. Nor, did he want anyone else. That harsh fact became apparent tonight.

He walked in the suite to find the lights already off. He saw the small light coming from the bathroom. He quickly went to turn off that small light. He did not want to wake up to that in the morning.

He looked over to the bed to find Andy already asleep. He smiled to himself. She must have fallen right asleep, seeing as how she still had on all of her clothes.

Not wanting to let this opportunity waste he climbed into bed without undressing himself. He looked at the two pillows and immediately discarded them.

He looked down at her face and noticed her steady breathing. Without thinking he kissed her cheek. He then took his arms and wrapped them around her. What she didn't know would hurt her.

It was the best sleep he'd gotten in over a year.

A/N: I rewrote this chapter...I'd say around eight times...and I still don't know if I like it, but I wanted to get it out there! It was much harder to write than I thought! Anyways, I promise (PROMISE) next chapter you will find out what happened! Can't keep you waiting too long! Also, nothing happened with either Leslie or Eli! I think (know) Sam and Andy only have eyes for each other! :) And how about episode 2x05 last night? Not many Sam/Andy scenes, but Sam in a suit made up for it all! I thought the whole episode was great, though! And even though I am all for the downfall of what is called Landy...that was still painful to watch! I feel so bad for Andy! I mean first a recycled ring and now he cheats on you! All the more reason to break up and finally go with Sam! If she forgives Luke...I will have a major rant session because that would just not be okay! Okay, I am done with rambling now! I want to thank everyone for their kind reviews! They mean the world to me and I love hearing your comments! I hope you enjoy this chapter and please tell me what you think! :)
